The Taho Vendor and the Visionary

In a small barangay nestled between the bustling cities of the south, lived two very different men.

Leo was a young entrepreneur with big dreams. He ran a small digital printing shop and had just launched an online delivery service for local products. He worked day and night, watched business podcasts, and studied marketing strategies. His goals? To create jobs and empower local sellers. Every morning, he looked out the window and whispered, “Someday, I’ll help this whole community rise.”

Across the street lived Mang Berto, a taho vendor for over 30 years. No page. No fancy logos. Just a stainless steel bucket, warm smiles, and the same routine. “Bakit kailangan mo pang magpaka-stress?” he once told Leo. “Simple lang ang buhay. Hindi mo kailangang maging ‘CEO’ para maging masaya.”

But Leo wasn’t after riches, he wanted impact. He saw potential in their sleepy barangay: unemployed tricycle drivers, sari-sari stores with no online presence, and students with ideas but no guidance. He wasn’t just building a business. He was building a movement.

One day, a typhoon hit. Roads were flooded. Deliveries were paused. Power was out. And surprisingly, the first to show up at Leo’s shop was Mang Berto, with a flashlight, coffee, and a calm voice.

“Ang dami mong gustong baguhin,” Mang Berto said, “pero 'wag mong kalimutan, ang negosyo, hindi lang teknolohiya. Tao rin ang puhunan.”

That night, they talked for hours. Leo listened. And he learned.

From then on, Leo built his business with the community, not just for it. He hired locals, trained out-of-school youth, and even taught Mang Berto’s grandson how to sell taho online.

Mang Berto still walks the streets, same bucket, same smile. But now, he tells people, “Si Leo? Hindi lang negosyante. Lider 'yan. At mabuting kapitbahay.”

Because sometimes, true success isn’t in proving people wrong, but in showing them what’s possible.

Moral: Entrepreneurship isn’t about complexity or titles. It’s about service, listening, and building something with others—especially those who live simply, yet hold deep wisdom.

The Fisherman’s Fortune

On a quiet coast in a small village, a fisherman cast his line into the sea each morning, catching just enough to feed his family and sell a few at the market. By noon, he would return home, laugh with his children, eat with his wife, and spend his afternoons sipping coffee with friends under the shade of a palm tree.

One day, a sharply dressed businessman, vacationing from the city, watched the fisherman dock early. Curious, he approached.

“You’re done for the day?” the businessman asked.

“Yes,” the fisherman replied, smiling. “I have enough for today.”

“But if you stayed out longer, you could catch more fish, sell more, earn more,” the businessman insisted. “With time, you could buy a bigger boat, hire more people, maybe even start a company!”

The fisherman raised an eyebrow. “And then?”

“Well,” the businessman continued, eyes gleaming, “after years of hard work, you could sell your business, become rich, and retire!”

“And then?” the fisherman asked again, leaning on his boat.

“Then,” the businessman said proudly, “you could spend your days doing whatever you love. You could relax, be with your family, hang out with friends, maybe fish a little in the morning…”

The fisherman chuckled softly, “But sir, I already do that now.”

The businessman stood silent, realizing the twist not in the fisherman’s life—but in his own. ✨🔥

The Exit Plan

Marcus Del Rosario was the kind of businessman everyone admired—or feared. At 38, he had built a billion-peso empire in logistics and was known for being ruthless in the boardroom. His motto: “Win at all costs.”

One rainy Friday afternoon, Marcus shocked the business world. He announced he was selling the entire company and retiring early. No explanation. No warning. Just a press release and a private jet waiting.

He disappeared.

Speculations swirled. Some said he was terminally ill. Others claimed he was under investigation. A few people believed he had a nervous breakdown.

Six months later, halfway across the world in a small fishing village in Greece, a young entrepreneur named Eleni posted a viral video: a documentary about a mysterious Filipino man who had helped her community rebuild its broken shipping port using insider knowledge of global logistics.

Viewers were stunned when he appeared on screen, wearing sandals and a fishing hat.

It was Marcus.

Journalists flew in. They asked him: Why walk away from billions?

He smiled and said, “I didn’t walk away. I built a new company under a different name. My old empire was about money. This one’s about meaning.”

The twist? The buyer of his original company?

A shell corporation he secretly owned.

Marcus hadn’t retired. He’d reset the game, with himself as both the seller and the buyer. Now richer, freer, and finally building something that mattered.

It all comes down to what matters to you! Business isn’t all about money it’s about value that you created!

Billionaire Jack Ma shows us how to be successful in our 20s, 30s, 40s and beyond

When Alibaba founder and CEO Jack Ma was a young adult, he applied to over 30 jobs and got rejected by all of them. Today, the 53-year-old’s e-commerce company is valued at $519 billion, although Ma didn’t start achieving career success until his 30s.

“In life, it’s not how much we achieved, it’s how much we’ve gone through the tough days and mistakes,” Ma recently said to a group of young leaders invited to the World Economic Forum annual meeting in Davos, Switzerland. “If you want to be successful, learn from the other people’s mistakes, don’t learn from the successful stories.”

As an alum of the Young Global Leaders network, Ma shed light on what the room of young adults should focus on within the next 30 years.

“When you are 20 to 30 years old, you should follow a good boss [and] join a good company to learn how to do things properly,” Ma said.

“When you are 30 to 40 years old, if you want to do something yourself, just do it. You still can afford to lose, to fail,” he added.

Soon thereafter, though, Ma recommended that people start prioritizing stability, family and the future generations.

Instead of diving into a new field or subject toward the later years in your career, he said, “when you’re 40 to 50 years old, my suggestion is you should do things you are good at.”

“When you are 50 to 60 years old, spend time training and developing young people, the next generation,” Ma added. “When you are over 60 years old, you better stay with your grandchildren.”

Ma said people in their 20s and 30s are “the luckiest” because they still have so much to learn.

Instead of setting your goals and aspirations based on others’ success stories, Ma recommended making yourself your own competition. You can do this by imagining what you hope to succeed in 10 years, a method that worked for him.

“As a young boy — even today — I never thought I would be here,” he said. “When I look back, every problem I met when I was a kid benefited me,” Ma said.

“I failed so many times, people probably know that I applied for so many jobs, over 30 jobs, all rejected, not even got a chance: 24 of us interviewed for a KFC job, 23 got accepted, I was the only guy rejected,” he explained.

Ma also discussed the time he applied for a “police job” with five other people. He was the only person from the group to be rejected. Another time, he and his cousin applied for jobs as servers at a four-star hotel. “We waited [in a] long queue for two hours,” Ma said. Although his cousin got the job, he received a rejection yet again.

While he said his mother shook her head at him, he refused to feel discouraged, thinking, “I know this is a training course for me.”

Though he says he felt like a failure before reaching his 30s, Ma never gave up. He made himself his own competition, pictured what he hoped to accomplish in 10 years and did everything he could to accomplish that goal.

“No matter how smart you are, you will encounter mistakes,” Ma said. “You learn from mistakes not because you will be able to avoid mistakes when these mistakes come, [when] these suffers come, you learn how to deal with it, how to face it.”

The Silent Investor
An Inspirational Mother’s Day Story

At ten years old, Marco was selling paper airplanes in their small town plaza, dreaming of someday owning his own company. People laughed at him — a shy, skinny boy with big dreams and no money. But always a few steps behind was his mother, Aling Rosa, a sari-sari store owner and early widow, whose calloused hands carried quiet strength.

While others doubted Marco, Aling Rosa invested in silence, not in stocks, but in staying up late to fold flyers with him, in using her last ₱3000 to buy a secondhand laptop, and in gentle words: “Kaya mo ’yan, anak. I believe in you.”

In high school, after Marco lost his first business pitch competition, it was his mother who stayed up all night helping him rework his slides. “Di bale nang matalo ngayon, anak. Hindi pa ’yan ang ending.”

When he wanted to launch an online business in college, she sold her favorite sewing machine, a gift from her own mother just to fund his start. She never called it sacrifice. She called it support.

There were tough years. Orders didn’t come. Competitors did better. Marco often felt like giving up. But each time, Aling Rosa reminded him, “Anak, hindi ako nagkamali sa paniniwala ko sa’yo. Huwag mong pagdudahan ang sarili mo.”

Fast forward ten years, Marco is now CEO of one of the fastest-growing startups in the country. At their first company anniversary, in front of investors, employees, and media, he opened with this:

"This company has one silent investor. She never asked for shares, never doubted me, and never left. This company was built on my mother’s love, patience, and faith."

In the front row, Aling Rosa cried quietly, not just proud, but seen.

Mothers don’t just raise children. They raise visionaries.
Happy Mother’s Day to the ones who invest in dreams — with nothing but heart.
